Description

Crewood Hall is a hall farmhouse dating from the late 16th century and early 17th century, with some internal features that may be even older. It underwent alterations and extensions in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of stone-dressed brown brick, with some oak framing, and has tiled roofs. It is two storeys high and features cross-wings at each end. There is a two-storey porch that has a sandstone lower storey and an oak-framed upper storey, which is supported by chevron and hollow-diamond braces, located at the junction with the left cross-wing.

The late 19th-century wood-mullioned casement windows consist of three lights, with two on each storey between the porch and the right cross-wing, and one per storey in each cross-wing. The chimney is located behind the main ridge just to the left of the porch, with lateral chimneys on both the left and right sides. There is a short wing extending beyond the right cross-gable and a 19th-century extension at the rear. The porch features an arris with ovolo, fillet, and cyma moulding. An inscribed lintel bears a weathered inscription from 1623 along with a coat of arms, and there is a replaced boarded door.

The right end gable has a stone ovolo-moulded five-light mullioned and transomed window on each storey, which is either Elizabethan or Jacobean in style. Inside, there is a great sandstone open fireplace in the room to the right of the porch, which was likely the former great hall. This room features massive oak posts in the left corner of the chimney breast and in the outside back right corner, along with two broad chamfered oak beams. The stair has been replaced, and the front bedrooms have large-framed partition walls and oak beams. The roof structure, which is now ceiled, has cambered beams over the hall and simple trusses over the right cross-wing; the roof of the far right wing appears to be a later addition to the cross-wing. The building is mentioned in Waterworth's Crewood Hall and Webb's Itinerary of Cheshire from 1623 in King's Vale Royal.
